Chapter 256 - Opening of the Company (2)
Zhang Chengyuan's attitude towards fans is that he both cares and doesn't care, what he cares about is: the growth and recovery of his Yuan Shen needs the power of fan worship to support, and the more the better. What he doesn't care about is that most fans are very fickle and will not be loyal to the star because of the star's small favors, so he doesn't feel the need to spend too much time to maintain the relationship with the fans, as long as the film and television series he makes are still popular, he doesn't have to worry about not having fans like it.
If it weren't for Jin Yazhong and Lin Zhixiu's insistence this time, Zhang Chengyuan didn't plan to invite fans to come at all, and although he agreed to invite fans, he stubbornly reduced the number of invited fans to 100, because he felt that too many fans might disrupt the order of the opening reception, and the more fans came, the more corresponding entertainment expenses.
After the fans came, Zhang Chengyuan didn't go to entertain them immediately, but asked a few company employees to take them to the western restaurant on the second floor, the western restaurant on the second floor is not open today, only for these fans, no matter what they want to eat, it is free, of course, the menu is slightly different from usual, there is no name of food that is too expensive on it.
At this time, Jang Sung-won and Lee Hyo-ri stood at the door of the first floor, constantly greeting the guests who came one after another, and then asked the receptionist to guide the guests to the third floor, where he asked people to prepare a buffet and buffet wine for the guests to enjoy.
Zhang Chengyuan and the others can only talk to each guest for a few words, so they have to hastily end the conversation and welcome the new guests, but fortunately, most of the guests also know each other, so even if Zhang Chengyuan, the host, has no time to talk to them, they can still find someone to chat with, and the wine and snacks that the waiter can serve at any time can also give them something to do.
At about twelve o'clock, all the invited guests had almost arrived, and Zhang Chengyuan didn't wait any longer, and walked to the third floor with his four sisters to entertain the guests. And there are still a few staff members at the gate of the first floor to watch, in case a few guests are late and don't know where to go.
Arriving on the third floor, the guests all looked over when they saw Zhang Chengyuan entering. Zhang Chengyuan glanced at it and found that the guests were roughly divided into two groups: men and women, which were subdivided into actors, MCs and behind-the-scenes staff. As the saying goes, things gather like people, and guests gather together according to their gender, identity, and social circle, and chat to their heart's content. Of course, this division is not strict, and people in different small circles will also connect and communicate with each other.
Zhang Chengyuan walked to the makeshift podium, briefly said some words of welcome and gratitude, and invited the guests to drink and have fun to their heart's content, and then walked off the stage without further words.
Although this banquet was held to celebrate the opening of Zhang Chengyuan's company, and everyone was invited by Zhang Chengyuan, in fact, everyone, including Zhang Chengyuan, did not care about the opening.
Everyone came here, firstly, to give Zhang Chengyuan face and help him support the scene in front of the media, and secondly, to take this opportunity to meet more friends or contact friends who knew before. Most of the banquets in this world are like this, there is no real content, just to provide a place and opportunity for everyone to communicate. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan didn't think about inviting some professional singers to sing a few songs to help the fun, he was too lazy to do this meaningless thing, for these artists, most of the performances have long been tired of watching, so he simply didn't waste the guests' time, but let them do everything casually, eat when they want, drink when they want, chat if they want to, even if someone wants to leave immediately, he won't mind.
He himself walked over with a glass of wine and chatted casually with the guests.
First of all, I went to talk to the behind-the-scenes staff represented by the two directors, Jeon Ki-sang and Lee Yoon-jeong, thanked them for coming, and chatted with each of them about their recent work. After talking in a hurry for more than ten minutes, he walked to the circle of actors led by Jang Dongjian and Lee Joon-gi, greeted them a few times and chatted casually. After another ten minutes, he temporarily said goodbye and walked to Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi's MC circle.
In this way, he would talk to the people in this circle for a while, and chat with the people in that circle for a while, and he was so busy that he gradually felt a little irritable in his heart, thinking that he would never hold such a crowded banquet again in the future, and he was really bored.
For a person like him, who has never liked to be lively and pays attention to efficiency, it is really annoying to gossip with too many people, and what is even more annoying is that as a host, even if he doesn't want to say more polite words to people in his heart, he can't help but say it because of etiquette. Because if you don't say these communicative words, sometimes you really don't know what to say. Many times, it's okay not to tell the truth, but it's easier to offend people when you tell the truth.
Fortunately, there are not many guests, and with the help of Lee Hyo-ri, Ok Joo-hyun and others, he can barely cope with it.
After hurriedly greeting the guests on the third floor, Zhang Chengyuan and Jin Yazhong went to the second floor, where their fans were still eagerly waiting for their arrival.
Unlike facing those artists with status on the third floor, Zhang Chengyuan often has to worry that he accidentally says the wrong thing and offends people, but when facing these fans, Chengyuan feels much more relaxed, because even if he occasionally says a few wrong words, it doesn't hurt, and these loyal fans will definitely be very considerate of him.
Interacting with these fans, Jang Sung-won did only three things. The first is to sign them. Because Zhang Chengyuan rarely holds fan autograph sessions, few fans present have Zhang Chengyuan's autograph, and they are very eager to get Zhang Chengyuan's autograph. In the past, most of the so-called "signatures" of Jang Sung-won that they collected were signed by Park Byungyeol. Fans also know this, but not many people blame Jang Sung-won for this, because the vast majority of artists' signatures are also like this.
The second is to answer questions from fans and tell them about his upcoming itinerary and future development plans. Perhaps what fans care about most is the every move of the artists they like, what they like, what they hate, what they want to do in the near future, no matter how trivial things are, they also listen to them with relish.
However, when fans asked him about his feelings, Zhang Chengyuan did not answer truthfully, but just told them that he already had someone he liked, and he was inconvenient to disclose the specific name. Most of these fans are young women, and although they were a little sad after hearing his reply, they quickly expressed their understanding and support for Jang Sung-won, and wished his love to blossom and bear fruit, which made Jang Sung-won feel very happy.
The third is to perform a show for them. Jang Sung-won performed three things: martial arts, dancing and singing. Among the three, he is best at martial arts, and the worst is singing, in order not to make fans more and more bored, he first performs singing.
When it comes to singing, he only knows one song, which is the song "I'm to You" sung by Xue Gongcan he played in "MyGirl", and he doesn't know much about the rest, even the Korean national anthem, he also sings messily. Although he hasn't practiced the love song "I'm to You" for about a year, Zhang Chengyuan still sings like a turning sound, because he habitually adds the power of the Yuan Shen to the song, which greatly strengthens the role of the song in shaking people's hearts, and the fans present are fascinated by it. And Jin Yazhong, who was sitting next to him, was also shocked after hearing him sing, and was ashamed of herself, knowing that the theme song "Maria" she sang in the movie "The Trouble of Beauty" once occupied the first place in the major song charts in South Korea, and she was also evaluated by some media as "the most professional singing actress".
Then Jang Sung-won performed his dance. In '05, he performed several difficult dances in "X-MAN" and "Love Letters", such as the mechanical dance, the ghost step dance, and his most amazing dance of power, which lifts a person up and spins in the air. To be honest, his dancing skills are not strong, and he is not very good until now, but he relies on his excellent physical fitness and can make movements that others can't do. For example, in mechanical dance, other dancers can control most of the joints and some muscles of the body, but Zhang Chengyuan can control all the bones, joints and muscles of the body, so the dance he dances is naturally more difficult and breathtaking.
On this occasion today, Jang Sung-won once again performed his specialty mechanical dance and ghost step dance, which made fans scream. Later, at the request of fans, he also recreated the classic scene of him once holding Yoon Eun-hye on his shoulder in "X-MAN" and jumping up and spinning in the air for a week and a half. It's just that this time the person sitting on her shoulder is not Yoon Eun-hye, but Kim Ya-jung.
When Jin Yazhong was frightened, Zhang Chengyuan laughed heartily, and Jin Yazhong couldn't help but kick him a few times, just like Yin Eunhui kicked Zhang Chengyuan at that time. Seeing this scene, the fans of the two couldn't help but laugh happily, and they were deeply happy for the friendship between the two. It's just that a few people can't help but think: "Maybe Sister Ya Zhong is the person that Brother Cheng Yuan loves." ”
After the last, Zhang Chengyuan performed martial arts. Up to now, the title of "Fighting Champion" that he once achieved in the army has been widely known, and it can be said that he is definitely the first among artists, very dazzling, but in various programs, he has almost never shown his skills, and only performed a set of superb swordsmanship in the behind-the-scenes footage of the reversal drama "Tears of the Knife", but few people believe that this is his real skill, and think it is a special effects lens, so although the people often talk about his skills, But I don't know how far his skills have reached.
This time, at the request of fans to leave a message on the website, Jang Sung-won decided to perform once.
The props are on the field, a Wing Chun wooden stake, 20 or 30 marble slabs about 2 cm thick and a large iron hammer.
Zhang Chengyuan picked up a piece of marble and said, "What I'm going to perform today is palm splitting marble, so first ask a few people to come up and check the hardness of this marble." ”
